Going Green

By Ethan Wang | May 4, 2010

At Dartmouth many of us like to think we are a highly eco-friendly college that lives up to our nickname the Big Green.

A Model Candidate

By Chris Talamo | May 4, 2010

Meet Carl Paladino. Carl, a gubernatorial candidate in New York, fancies himself a member of a politicized "Tea Party," and is the owner of a successful business based in Buffalo, N.Y.

Letter to the Editor: A Perspective on Prospies

To the Editor: As an early decision admit (who wasn't invited to Dimensions) and a former Admissions Office intern for hosting and Dimensions, I feel uniquely qualified to comment on "The Missing Dimension" (May 3), by Suril Kantaria '13. I have tremendous sympathy for Kantaria's argument that ED students would both benefit from and enhance Dimensions weekend.

Saying What She Said

By Kevin Niparko | May 3, 2010

"Dartmouth," someone more qualified than me once said, "is the land of 4,000 grade-grubbers." We head to office hours and ask trivial questions solely for the purpose of achieving professor facetime.

The Color of the Party

By Jacob Batchelor | May 3, 2010

Yoon Ji Kim '13 / The Dartmouth Staff Yoon Ji Kim '13 / The Dartmouth Staff The Tea Party movement has captured the attention of the American public; it is difficult to go a day reading or watching online, print or televised news in this country without seeing some mention of this now infamous group.

The Missing Dimension

By Suril Kantaria | May 2, 2010

Every year, prospective students grace Dartmouth's campus during Dimensions weekend. And almost every year the weather uncharacteristically cooperates (thank you Sun God for turning around the forecast this year with your omnipotent mask and boom box). But year after year, the College blatantly excludes early decision members of the incoming class from its annual Spring bash.

Political Problema

By Raza Rasheed | April 29, 2010

Since our country's founding, race has been a convenient and effective shibboleth for conservative politicians of both parties to exploit the prejudices of the white Anglo-Protestant majority and dupe them into supportive regressive, self-defeating economic systems.

VERBUM ULTIMUM: A Minor Move

By The Dartmouth Editorial Board | April 29, 2010

The Hanover Police Department's recently revised alcohol policy to no longer automatically arrest underage students receiving medical attention for overconsumption if they are eligible for the Alcohol Diversions program has solicited an overwhelmingly positive reaction from the student body ("Many students back police policy changes," April 26). The new policy certainly removes a large obstacle in providing crucial medical assistance to specific groups of students either traditionally responsible students who had an uncharacteristic lapse in judgment or the overeager freshmen who did not realize their limit.

Beyond HPo-licy

By Emily Johnson | April 28, 2010

This year has been a roller coaster ride for Hanover Police alcohol policy. After unveiling a proposal for "sting operations" in February and backpedaling several days later, Hanover Police Chief Nicholas Giaccone announced last week that police officers will no longer automatically arrest underage, intoxicated students who are taken to Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center.

Press One for Bigot

By Julian Sarkar | April 28, 2010

Across the country, the nationalist English-only movement is once again on the rise. Arizona recently passed legislation that now allows officers to investigate anyone if there is "reasonable suspicion" to believe the individual is not a legal citizen legislation which will certainly result in the infringement on free speech in non-English languages.

AHA's Moment

As a Catholic, I can confidently say that if I had not grown up in a liberal secular environment I would not hold the same religious beliefs I have today.

Flooding the Job Pool

By Ryan McClafferty | April 26, 2010

With applicants outnumbering job openings by a brutal five to one margin nationwide, many so-called "overqualified" workers, spurred on by economic necessity, are re-evaluating their aspirations and settling for jobs that are "beneath" them.

One Step Closer

It is almost hard to imagine, but throughout the United States, people are denied the right to visit their loved ones in the hospital.

To Prospies

By Ethan Wang | April 21, 2010

This is dedicated to all the prospective '14s out there. One year ago, I was up here visiting like you are now, and somewhere between the wacky skits, engaging professors and down-to-earth students, I knew that this was where I wanted to spend my next four years.
